LegitReviews is reporting that XFX has designed a limited number of Radeon HD 5970 graphics cards with 4GB of on-board memory. This is simply a Eyefinity6 version of the Radeon HD 5970. The production run of the cards is to be numbered in the hundreds, with a retail price of around $800.
But there is some other news in the post from LegitReviews as well. This time it concerns XFX and its support, or lack thereof, of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 480.
This afternoon we received confirmation that XFX, a division of PINE Technologies, will not be releasing any GeForce GTX 400 series graphics cards to the market when the cards become public next month. XFX was not listed as a launch partner for Fermi and did not issue a press release about the upcoming cards, which might come as a shock to many of our readers as they are one of the largest NVIDIA add-in board (AIB) partners in the world! XFX said that the decision not to carry this series of GF100 graphics card was their decision and that they will still be carrying NVIDIA products.

I believe that 4gb is something near awesome. What kind of stored rendering can you do with that thing. It is too bad that I haven’t done any graphical rendering in a while or I would definitely test it out fully
